The preschools in Odesa, including institutions No. 45, No. 88, and No. 225, have launched a new international project called ‘Grow Together’. This initiative focuses on supporting the social-emotional development of young children.

From 2024 to 2025, the project will be implemented by the non-profit organization Think Equal from the UK in collaboration with the Ukrainian fund ‘Step by Step’.

The aim of the project is to help children acquire social-emotional skills, enhance the professional abilities of educators in emotional health matters, and teach parents how to support their children through stressful situations.

To facilitate the program's implementation, educational institutions have received methodological materials including guides, workbooks, and textbooks.
